EA Play, EA's annual, totally-not-an-E3-press-conference, is happening tonight. But will the heavily rumoured Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster finally be announced during the show? Maybe, maybe not, according to VentureBeat, although the publication does reiterate that the remaster is definitely still happening, and it's releasing later this year.
The article reasons that if BioWare doesn't have Dragon Age 4 and its overhaul of ill-fated looter shooter ANTHEM ready to show, then the developer may just be left on the sidelines for now. It also suggests that EA has a different team remastering Mass Effect.
Still, we'd be happy enough with some kind of confirmation. But the publication's reassurance that the remaster is happening in 2020 may have to suffice for now.

I'm replaying the trilogy at the moment, currently playing through ME2. I'm just about to do arguably the best mission in the entire series, recruit Thane Krios. Unfortunately it's the horrendous PS3 version which runs and sounds awful. Still an amazing game though.
I would definitely buy any remasters.
If Bioware don't have anything to show at this event then what have they been doing the last few years?? It makes it look like there stuck in that rut with how Anthem turned out 6 years of pre production and look how it turned out. With evidence showing that no one was running the company at all if that's the case one has to worry about Bioware because from my perspective it's going to get swallowed up and gone sooner than later.
@Nakatomi_Uk Yep, wouldnt surprise me. EAs MO is churning out series games every year. They cant like how Bioware eats through money and released a couple of steaming piles of dung. Their next big release is a do or die in my opinion (probably Dragon Age 4). If it flops, I could totally see the whale swallowing them up and relegating them to EA Sports Cricket Championships 2022, 2023, 2024.....
This show is going to be a drag.
EA haven’t been too bad ever since the Battlefront 2 debacle so to be honest, it wouldn’t surprise me if there were a few decent things to come out of this presentation. I do wish Mass Effect Remastered would release soon, it’s one of my favourite series.
Left on the sidelines? EA doesn't leave people on the sidelines they just shut them down, have done for years.
Lets be honest tho most of the people who aren't interested in sports games are watching EA Play hoping for this remaster.
@nessisonett i think they've just learnt to keep their mouths shut since coining the phrase 'surprise mechanics'. They are content milking the casual sports fans with microtransactions until the next gen comes out. I think then they will mess up again.
This is getting ridiculous just announce it already what could they possibly be waiting for.. if ea dont announce it during the stream then I for one will be pissed ffs
I'm not worried, EA rarely make ridiculously dumb decisions. Especially, when it comes to giving the gaming community what they want.
I knew it. Oh well, just give us a new Fight Night and/or a new modern Battlefield and I just might forgive you.
Maybe they are saving it for Microsoft’s show or some other conference? The sooner we know the better!
Gay sex!!!
Yes!
Space!!!
Opera!!!
If they're not showing Mass Effect then honestly why are they even doing a stream
Isn't the source article just "educated guesses"? Sounds completely baseless, honestly. I'm not giving up hope we'll at least see some Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster news. Show me the money, Bioware!
Makes me think that the remaster is going to be s@#%. Why wouldn't you show a game coming out in less than 5 months etc unless it's still a mess? Maybe. I dont know, its EA so the whole show could be just about fifa, some awkward indie game, and how they are the innovators of the world lol
If it's coming out this year, but still not shown now, I really don't understand EA's logic. This is literally the only game many people want from them.
I'm going to punch a puppy.
The Uncharted movie will come out before this remaster does.
EA tends to not give a damn what anyone wants. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see anything on the ME trilogy, or Skate 4, or Dead Space, or SSX, or Road Rash, or Fight Night.
I fully expect to see FIFA garbage, random Star Wars game, Need for Speed 30, and some boring APEX crap, with a hint of Anthem thrown in.
At the very most, we will get a remaster of a game nobody asked for.
Just as expected nothing from EA Play, if it is "supposedly" releasing late this year I think its not happening to be honest, sad face.
There was once a point in time when a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster would have made me excited. Unfortunately, I stopped giving money to EA years ago, so that time has run its course.
